Pets Permitted
These homes will gladly accept domestic, housebroken pets unless otherwise noted. Pets are not permitted on the grounds of any home not designated pet friendly. Any additional restrictions (for example, some property owners only permit dogs) will be noted in the property details. An additional pet fee could be incurred. Please contact our office for more details.
-
Hot Tub
These homes feature private (or, in the case of Atlantic View Estates properties, community) hot tubs. Tubs are cleaned and sanitized before each rental. A great way to take the "off season" chill away. As used on our web site, Hot Tub does not mean the traditional wooden tubs found in many mountain ski resorts; in other areas, our Hot Tubs might be called Spas. Most of them are located outside on a deck or poolside; a select few are inside the home and/or adjacent or even built in to the pool. A Jacuzzi is not a Hot Tub; it is a trademark bathtub, in many shapes and sizes, typically found in the bathroom (although a select few homes in our program may have the Jacuzzi inside the master bedroom).
-
Fireplace
Fireplaces are only available for use November 1 to May 1. Midgett Realty does not provide wood for wood burning fireplaces. Some fireplaces are only decorative, which will be noted in the house description.
-
Sheets Provided: Beds not made, No towels
Sheets will be left on the beds for you. No towels are provided. Upgrades to the linen package can be made after booking via phone or through our app.

The ground level is a queen en suite bedroom with access to a shaded deck with stairs to the ground. All bedrooms throughout the house are en suite bedrooms with TVs to give everyone some elbow room.
On the middle level are three additional bedrooms, two with queen beds and one with a bunk set and a pyramid bunk. A shaded deck on this level is home to the bubbly hot tub, where you can soak away the cares of the world.
The top floor is an open living, dining, and kitchen with breakfast bar seating and is well equipped with both a standard coffee maker and a single serve coffee maker. A laundry and half bathroom are off the kitchen. Grab a book off the shelf and read it in the cozy loft area or gather with your family in the living area. The screened porch is the perfect place for a picnic lunch, or you can work on your tan on the sundeck.
Grab your fishing poles and beach chairs and hit the sand via the community beach boardwalk at the end of the street. For days you would rather stay in, board games are provided for your entertainment. Tackle and surf shops, as well as restaurants and water sports equipment rentals are all nearby, either within walking distance or a short drive away. There is no end of fun to be had when you get away to The Defense Rests.
Pet friendly, dogs only please.
